The Range: The Tucson Weekly's Daily Dispatch

Less than three weeks after being founded, the Gabriel Zimmerman Memorial Fund has reached $25,000 in donations, says Sara Wright of Child and Family Resources in Tucson.

The organization started the memorial fund at the request of Zimmerman's family on Jan. 13, five days after the Safeway shooting in which Zimmerman lost his life. While working with Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Zimmerman also served on the board for Child and Family Resources, Wright says.

Meanwhile, donations have pushed the Gabriel Zimmerman Scholarship Fund at the University of California, Santa Cruz, over the $30,000 mark, up from last week's amount of $20,000, says Jonathan Klein, a UC Santa Cruz alum and co-creator of the fund.

The Tucson Community Food Bank has raised $125,000 in donations made in Giffords' name, up from $92,000 last week, while the Southern Arizona chapter of the American Red Cross has collected $72,000, up from $50,000.
